As a current employee and nurse at this facility, I can say with confidence that WCC is undeserving…read moreof the previous review. Nursing at WCC is a dynamic blend of emergency, outpatient, and inpatient care with a diverse population and abundant opportunities to educate patients who are openminded, eager to learn, and ready to take charge of their health as they re-enter society. Away with the stigma of corrections nursing being unsafe. There are officers present with all patient interactions for safety and security, unlike my time in the ED where I was subject and witness to multiple staff assaults. Low patient ratios, excellent teamwork, opportunities for education and upward mobility, compensation ~20% higher than hospitals in the area, comprehensive benefits (pension, and regence PPO Health insurance) Nursings best kept secret.

If you are looking for employment and come across WCC to work as an RN, run away. Do not apply. WCC…read morehas 120% turnover rate. No one wants to work there. Its a very toxic environment and management knows all about it... yet they do nothing. Governor Jay Inslee should look into WCC and fire everyone in management. P.Paterson is a horrible supervisor. She will lie in your face. Right now she is being investigated by the ethics board. That should tell you what kind of manager she is. Please run away. Working for WCC has great benefits for retirement but that does not hold good nurses there. P.Paterson will make sure if you are a great nurse and you decided to challenge her, she will make your life a living hell. Like I keep saying, please run away. You have been warned.

Having moved from an area with a great library system I was so pleasantly surprised to see the…read morequality of the Timberland Regional Library system. With so many branches serving so many communities they really do have an exceptional collection available to the community. Staff have always been great to work with and are happy to take the time to explain how their system works. While the Shelton branch is not huge I have been able to log in to the library system, find books I want to read and put a hold on them. When they become available they are shipped to your local branch and held for about a week for you to pick them up. Book return is a breeze with a drive by drop box outside the library. A good library like this makes the community stronger.

Well, not much to say about this city, very small city that is along Hwy 8 I do believe, basically…read morethe only thing I can think of that a person would stop here is if they have family or need gas or quick bit to eat- and for the latter there is not much options in that department. We went to the Chevron here, and I didn't get my cup refilled with Pepsi, even though they had a Pepsi machine because the prices were way to high! So, just got gast, wife got coffee and we hit the road, I highly doubt I will be back here unless we need gas.

A lot of small town folks like to keep their towns small and homey feeling. Seems like a farm town where the "hangout" is the gas station. It probably has a good fair since there are fairgrounds. It is a quiet cute town though.

How bizarre to review a business park, huh? Except that this business park contains the remains of…read morea never-completed nuclear power plant, most notably the two massive cooling towers associated with a traditional power plant. While the Hanford Site in Eastern Washington was instrumental to the Manhattan Project, there is a noticeable lack of nuclear energy projects in the Pacific Northwest (with only two active reactors that I know of- at said Hanford Site, and the student run reactor at Reed College in Portland, Oregon.) Trojan Nuclear Power Plant in Oregon has been closed for many years and it's distinctive cooling tower was demolished back in 2006- so where can you go for some photo shoots and pseudo-urban exploration? Well, Satsop is within daily driving distance from Seattle and Portland and considering the price (free,) it is well worth stopping by.

Pretty cool to see the…read moreabandoned (unfinished) nuclear power plants up close - even though they are a gentle reminder of the government wasting more of our hard earned money. A few side items to note - the business park has hundreds (I mean hundreds) of brand new Volkswagens waiting for their forever home, so feel free to look around. BUT don't look too closely because there is a security guard with a lead foot who loves to mad-dog you from the comfort of the front seat of his Ford Focus (1989 - 92 model). There is also a huge boring machine on site which begs the question - are there tunnels below these nuclear structures and if so did the forgiving tax payers of the beautiful Pacific Northwest pay for this rusting eye sore? In any event - the power plants are pretty cool to see.

I have seen a couple of Nirvana documentaries of Kurt Cobain's earlier life that show his childhood…read morewhen he lived in this house. While passing through Aberdeen, I decided to do a mini Nirvana pilgrimage and check out the town that Kurt Cobain grew up in. After spending time at Kurt Cobain Memorial Park near Young Street Bridge, I walked over to his childhood home. The house is just around the corner. It has been refurbished and it is gated off. Someone else currently lives here, so all that you can do is take photos from the sidewalk. Cool historic place to check out, especially if you grew up a Nirvana fan like me. But there is not much else to see or do.

Kurt Cobain was born and grew up in the Washington coast harbor town of Aberdeen WA. This is where…read morehe lived from 1968 to 1984. It was purchased by Lee and Danielle Bacon in 2018 from the Cobain family. They paid $225,000...a bargain considering that the cardigan Cobain wore in 1993 on the set of "MTV Unplugged" sold at auction for $334,000. The Bacons have restored the home to appear as it would have while Cobain lived there. At the time of this review, you cannot go inside, but plans are in the works to make private tours available in the near future. Tours will begin about 1.5 miles away at a soon to be opened Nirvana tribute lounge and gallery cafe as zoning does not allow the home to operate as a traditional museum. It's great to see Aberdeen finally beginning to embrace Cobain's contribution to music history. Fans travel great distances from all around the world to find Cobain's beginnings and pay tribute in the town that helped to shape him. Just a few days prior to writing this review, the Aberdeen City Council unanimously voted to make February 20th (Cobain's birthday) Kurt Cobain Day.

Housed in a renovated Carnegie library building around the corner from where the bus stops, they even have an old grandfather clock and their underground parking beats Aberdeen's tiny outside area. The only downside is the main collection is on the second floor, while the bathrooms are in the basement. I also wish they weren't closed on Mondays. As in other Timberland libraries, the WiFi is good and they even allow limited free printing. Their interlibrary loan is also free and you can return materials to any Timberland branch.

Aberdeen does not have a bookstore to speak of (I suppose there's the Christian bookstore in the mall, but if you want fiction, it's either Wally World or the grocery store) and that is a real gap that the library helps to fill. While the catalog for the Aberdeen library isn't large, the Timberland Regional Library system is huge, spanning five or six (maybe seven, I'm losing track) counties, and it's based in Olympia. So there is a lot more in terms of resources than the city of Aberdeen itself could ever hope to pull together. And with computerized library holds for virtually all its media, you can get obscure titles relatively quickly. The library system only recently instated overdue fines. This has made them able to purchase an even wider selection of media because they don't have to buy large numbers of popular books, CDs and DVDs anymore (people wouldn't turn them in by the due date, which meant the library system would overpurchase popular items to compensate). I don't think a single person was bummed out by this, in fact, I (an occasional abuser of the system, but not out of control) thought it was a great idea. The library now has a security guy inside all the time, which may make you feel safer (there are lots of people who, oh, use a lot of services and don't really have another place to go during the day that hang out there). The bathrooms are clean and there's always plenty of parking. The Aberdeen TImberland library is a pretty solid cornerstone of our downtown, and so important for all it does for our town.

And amazingly enough it's also one of the quietest! I was shocked to find a guy shooting dope in the restroom stall one day recently but hey, drug addicts need to feel secure too I suppose. I don't condone drug use, but it certainly beats having them do this crap out in the alley. The staff here will always greet you with a huge smile and be willing to go out of their way to help you find something or do anything else you might need help with. Heck, even the security guard lady is really friendly and sweet!
